Thanks for adding a dark theme.

Mostly lurking
I just went into my preferences and shut off all alerts that referred to "likes". In my opinion they are garbage.
It's become a Matrix-lite colour scheme.
Edit: the alerts feature no longer marks the difference between read and unread alerts.
Second edit: also in general it looks unfinished. A lot of dividing lines between boxes, buttons, posts, etc. are not displayed.

A custom title system might be fun, for example I always liked the one in the Total War forums, which is based on "reputation" (basically users can award reputation for posts)
Would it fit the CFC culture? Personally I really doubt it. Total War had (has?) a more open trolling culture, but that also means that there is different moderation, and it leads to no observable tampering of the system for clique purposes.
I instead propose awarding titles only for post count (meh, I don't really care)

Honestly I would prefer this forum change as little as possible from what I am used to. Changes are something that should only ever happen if there is a pressing need for them or if the new is so massively advantageous that it can not be ignored.
What's wrong with the subscriptions?
Thunderfall fixed it, in an apparently long and painful process. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.
Related: Same issue for the civ2 scenario league, he said we will tackle that next.
As I have already posted, we have problems with the subscriptions.
1) all threads appear to have been marked as unread.
2) the subscriptions page is supposed to only show unread threads. Instead, all threads are shown so actually keeping up with one's subscriptions is harder. This was not the case with the earlier iteration of Xenforo, nor was it with vBulletin.
Hm, what I don't like is that apparently mods have stealth vision and it doesn't matter if you select to not publish if you are online, they still see
That's pretty cheeky
If you think I even pay attention to who's online, you've missed the point of my post.
I am just trying to allude to the possible lawsuits coming
Update. I made a greesemonkey script that adds a full screen reply button for my self. I am going to test it for a while and see if it works well. If yes, and of course if it is permitted by the staff here, I might release it for anyone who needs it.
The results are still not ideal but the reply box is quite a bit larger and of course all the standard liability wavers and disclaimers apply. But it's something.

The pressing need was to get away from an outdated, insecure version of our software!
However as we are now on the Cloud version you can expect regular changes in line with the modern "continuous improvement" philosophy. If you take issue with that philosophy then I have considerable sympathy with you but we lost that battle at least 10 years ago .....

I was talking about changes to the interface, forum mechanics etc. As in, moving away from making the "new" forum as close a copy of the old as you can and toward something different.
If you had to change the underlying software fine. That's a technical thing. But don't get carried away with all the shiny new toys and turn this forum into something completely different than its nature is. Instead, focus on making sure that for us the end users the experience stays as close to the original as is possible and keep it there.
There is absolutely nothing worse than an application of any type, be it a program or a web forum whose interface and functionality constantly changes. All it ever does is lead to an uncomfortable chaotic mess with which nobody is comfortable. And I would hate to have this place turn out that way. It would be a very sad death to this forum and my decade and a half enjoyment of it if you went down that path.
